A 1939 Austin Mission-Style Home Gets a Thoughtful Renovation with Sleek and Sexy Style

It is not often I use the words sleek and sexy to describe a home but this 1930s Austin home is not only sleek and sexy but it also has the right amount of gothy vibes to keep the saying “Keep Austin Weird” alive and well.

Originally built in 1939, this Austin Mission-style home was taken down to the studs in 2020 and thoughtfully renovated without sacrificing its historic character. This Mission-style stucco home has beautifully rounded corners and deep-set windows, and the end result is a classic beauty.

Walls of steel windows flood natural light into the inviting entryway and the gracious living room.

The exposed beams also make this home comfortable and cozy. The masterful renovation of this casita blends timeless architecture with sophisticated modern design.

The built-in banquette makes for fun dinners as you enjoy your friends and family. But if the occasion calls for you to make a statement then you will absolutely want to go to the heart of the home.

This 2,100-square-foot home comes not only with an impressive chef’s kitchen but also a scullery. The mess from preparing a delicious meal for your guests is hidden away.

The family room is great for movie night or simply curling up with a good book. The open floor plan allows you to continue your conversation even if the popcorn beckons from the kitchen.

The primary suite is a true retreat, offering private access to the screened porch nestled beneath a majestic heritage Oak.

The spa-like en-suite bathroom features modern finishes, a walk-in shower, and a luxurious Japanese soaking tub with heated walls.

The screened-in back porch is just as inviting as the rest of this home. This private sanctuary is a perfect blend of classic character and contemporary luxury. 

Centrally located near the University of Texas, on game days you can walk to DKR Stadium. Win or lose, at least you’ll know you are coming home to comfort and style.

This two-bedroom, two-bath home located at 713 E. 32nd Street in Austin is listed by Lissa Gray Anderson for $1.849 million.
